Bingil Bay, Bingil Bay, Bingil All The Way
Something appears to be happening finally for Bingil Bay's playground and BBQ area
on the beach.
A gas BBQ is on the cards, but maybe change the use of current BBQ and turn it into
a pizza oven or fireplace?
Cyclone funding has been received and application is being made for more funds to upgrade
the area.
The playground and other works that have already received funding should be spent now, as it
it unsure when future funding will be received.
Ed: Are there any restrictions on setting up a beach shack to serve food and drink and maybe even provide
sun lounges for rental t expand the tourism experience?

Workshop
for Collectors
Whether for a gallery or community museum, historical
society or private archives, the know- how to care for and manage a collection is the subject of a one-day workshop next
Saturday 14 June from 9.00am – 4.00pm at the Innisfail High School library.
Today’s events soon
become part of tomorrow’s history – photos, awards, badges, diaries, letters. How do we decide what can and should
be kept and how items can be stored to last, especially in our tropical climate.
The presenter is Maria Friend, Museums
and Resources Officer for Far North Queensland, and the day includes comprehensive workbooks and lunch. This will interest
artists, staff or volunteers from galleries and museums, private collectors, regional community-based arts, culture and heritage
organisations.
This national training series is brought to FNQ by Arts Nexus and the Queensland Arts Council (QAC).
Workshop bookings are essential on 4051 4433 or download enrolment forms from http://www.artsnexus.com.au

18 hour charity walk for Cassowary
Coast locals
Cardwell, Tully and Innisfail residents are being encouraged to help support a cancer-free future by registering
to participate in the Cancer Council Queensland’s Cassowary Coast Relay For Life, to be held on October 11-12 at Tully
Showgrounds.
Relay For Life is a state-wide event involving teams of 10 to 15 people walking around a track overnight
for 18 hours, to celebrate cancer survival and raise funds for Queensland
cancer patients.
Relay For Life Co-ordinator at the Cancer Council, Shannon Rigato is encouraging teams to register.
“The Cassowary Coast Relay For Life is a chance for people from this region to have their own event,”
she said.
“Relay For Life events have a real community spirit where everyone is sharing the common goal of working
towards a world without cancer.
“We encourage everyone to take part in this event which celebrates cancer survival and helps raise vital
funds in the campaign against cancer,” Ms Rigato said.
Teams are formed by friends, family, schools, work colleagues, clubs and community groups who get together and
fundraise in the lead up to the event, aiming to raise a minimum of $1000 per team.
Money is raised in the lead-up to the event to fund vital research, support and information
for Queenslanders affected by cancer.
If you would like to register
a team, contact the Cancer Council’s Shannon Rigato on 0417 195544 or ShannonRigato@cancerqld.org.au.
The Cancer Council Queensland is an independent, community-based charity and is not government funded. The achievements

and not-for-profit organisations who need a helping hand. It has been established by Cazalys Cairns in association with The
Cairns Post. Cazalys general manager Joe Kelly said the fund was established for the community of Far North Queensland." The
Cazalys Cairns Community Fund has a simple objective to better the lives of the people," he said.
